The Strata-Sphere blog has a post about the new images of the sun and how they have changed scientific view of the sun's relationship with the earth.
| Quote: | A brand new spacecraft (Solar-B or Hinode) is up studying the Sun with a fidelity never before seen. If you saw the news on CNN tonight that is basically what was reported. And the consensus from the scientific experts is the data has thrown all we thought we knew about the Sun out the window - including the earth Sun connection.
“These images will open a new era of study on some of the sun’s processes that affect Earth, astronauts, orbiting satellites and the solar system.”
The scientists said they were surprised and delighted by the findings.
“It’s going to put us in a whole new realm of understanding,” Golub told a news conference.
“Everything we thought we knew about X-ray images of the sun is out of date.” |

Yep, the 11 year Solar Cycle (actually I think it's 22 years*) is the likely cause of planetary cooling and planetary warming ( for us, Mars, Venus, etc). Man will have little to say in the matter (unless Iran and North Korea successfully detonate the planet).
| Quote: | | *The 11 year sunspot cycle is related to a 22 year cycle for the reversal of the Sun's magnetic field. In 1848 Johann Rudolf Wolf devised a method of counting sunspots on the solar disk called the Wolf number. Today the Wolf number (averaged from many observing sites) is used to keep track of the solar cycle. |

So it's simple....if someone uses 'Global' in a sentence think 'Gorebal'...it's just politics. Conversely, if someone uses 'planetary' in a sentence, they may just be spewing facts, not politics!

Let's not lose sight of the fact that this scam is being perpetrated by those obsessed by a notion that the universe is centered on them individually.
The arrogance and self-absorption of these narcissists is cosmic in scale. |
